| ~ Skarr to Billy on whether he missed his old days of being an evil general.
|
Reginald Peter, better known as General Skarr, is the tritagonist of Evil Con Carne, a supporting antagonist in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and the tritagonist of the TV movie Billy & Mandy Underfist: Halloween Bash. He was the right-hand general to evil genius Hector Con Carne. He also serves as the main antagonist of several episodes of the latter show.He is Billy's neighbor, and a retired villain.
He was voiced by Armin Shimerman.
Overview[]
Skarr used to be Hector Con Carne's ex-paramilitary commander. He moved to Endsville after Con Carne's organization shut down, and became Billy's neighbor (much to his distress) and an avid gardener. Later, he joins the Underfist team in the Halloween special.
Appearance[]
He has a blind left eye with a jagged scar under it. He wore a blue suit and oddly shaped hat when working for Hector.
He is bald (which is sometimes used as a gag) and has a large, downward pointed nose.
In Underfist, he has a large grey moustache and goatee and wears a bright blue uniform that includes a beret.
Personality[]
At the first glance, when Skarr worked for Hector Con Carne, he sometimes tried to overthrow Hector and take over his organization to take over the world himself. However, he retired from his evil ways as he trying to find peace in gardening or trying to be a good neighbor. In "Underfist", he becomes the Unscrupulous Hero. He does join the others in forming the titular team, but still retains his malicious traits.
He oftentimes tries to overthrow Hector Con Carne, as he believes he is more fit to rule the world, and is sick of being Hector's lackey. He often fantasizes about either controlling or doing away with Hector and his other co-workers, and has often come very close to doing so.
General Skarr is often shown to be be harsher, crueler, and oftentimes far more evil than his boss Hector Con Carne. In the intro of the show, it is said he enjoys interrogation, presumably through torture of the interrogated victims.
He also occasionally is a smart alec, as when Hector asked how to prevent the commandos from kicking their butts, Skarr suggested they "Cover (their butts) with (their) hands, sir." and showed a light grin after saying so. He also has, in a couple of episodes, poked fun at Hector not having a body.
He can be bitter and cruel towards animals, and has been known to kill a dog to feed the other five dogs (and use what happened to that dog as a threat to get the dogs to move faster), and treated Bozkov badly when told to train him. Despite his cruelty to these animals, he has shown a fondness towards pigeons and feeding them in the show. He also at one point secretly showed affection towards what he believed to be a dalmation puppy.
Out of all the characters in the show, he has the worst possible luck, and he knows it. He is sick of his efforts going unappreciated, another reason he tries to overthrow Hector occasionally. In "The Mother of all Evils", he briefly reveals that he is lonely, and states that the loneliness is the only thing worse than the others not appreciating him enough; however, this and "Trouble with Skarrina" are the only episodes where he shows signs of loneliness.
In "Trouble with Skarrina", it is said by Estroy that he is the dumbest member of Evil Con Carne; however, this is not evident in most other episodes, and his own personal ideas for how to take over the world are usually very sound. Thus it is possible his actions in that episode was the result of desperation and his usual bad luck, rather than stupidity.
In The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, he tries to avoid his old evil ways and has become an avid gardener. Despite this, it is clear he still wants to rule the world himself.
Biography[]
Grim & Evil[]
Evil Con Carne[]
Skarr used to work for Hector Con Carne, but left after the organization went bankrupt and Hector was forced to sell their island headquarters and their army to an entertainment company, who didn't want anyone else to take over the world.
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy[]
After Evil Con Carne 's cancellation, Skarr eventually appeared on The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, starting with the episode Skarred For Life. In that episode, a delivery boy comes to a ruined house to bring pizza and finds a horrible, wretched shell of a man lurking behind the door. The man, referring to himself as "It", insists on telling the man the story of how he became what he is now. In his story, General Skarr moves into the house after the previous owners are driven out of town by Billy, despite an old man telling him that the house is cursed.
Later, Skarr's home is visited by Billy, and inside Skarr shows Billy a hallway full of things from his days as Hector Con Carne's minion. He takes sadistic enthusiasm in describing his former ambitions of world domination, but insists that he is now retired. Billy is disgusted by Skarr's willingness to give up and calls him pathetic, showing Grim, tormenting children by summoning a demonic floating pig, to him as an example of a respectable and powerful villain, and tells Skarr that Grim's scythe gives him ultimate power. The temptation of stealing the Grim Reaper's scythe and using it as his own overcomes Skarr, and he brings out a giant robot he had on display to perform the task. However, the robot is extremely slow and impractical, as it does not even capture the attention of Grim (who is being forced to act like a little girl by Billy), so Skarr eventually just abandons it, swipes away Grim's scythe and runs back to his house with it. Inside his home, Skarr is confronted by Mandy, whose extremely dominating presence forces him to relinquish it to her, making him cry.
The man in the house finishes his story, just as the real Skarr, who is perfectly well, arrives back at his front door from a vacation and is upset to see his home in ruin. The man emerges from behind the door, and it is revealed that "It" is not Skarr but the insane old man who had earlier proclaimed the house to be cursed, whom Skarr had simply asked to watch his house for a few days.
Even though Skarr retired, he is an anti-social megalomaniac obsessed with power who is often tempted to return to his evil ways, but he tries to stop himself from becoming a villain again by gardening; he hates children because they annoy him and frequently ruin his garden, and he is scared of Mandy. Plus, he wants Grim's supernatural scythe, which he has stolen a couple of times.

Billy: So why'd you move to this dump? Skarr: We got bought out by a big entertainment corporation. It seems they didn't want the competition for world domination. Billy: ...That story was so beautiful, it gave me gas. (farts) But don't you ever miss your old job? Skarr: Miss commanding regimented forces of destructive power as we encircled the globe with our terrible iron fists of might? Crushing down all of the pathetic fools who dared stand before us?! GORGING OUR BELLIES ON THEIR CRIES FOR MERCY?! UNTIL, AT LAST, I ALONE STAND AS THE GLORIOUS DARK LORD OF ALL THE KNOWN... UNIVEEEERSE!!!!! (panting) Not at all. Never miss it. |

Trivia[]
- In the episode Emotional Skarr, when he fantasizes about ruling the world himself, his symbol is his scar in a circle similar to how the swastika was positioned. He also was shown in the same fantasy having an eagle on his hat, positioned in the same way as the Nazi eagle symbol. However, this is only evident in one scene.
- The fantasy is also referenced in Anger Mismanagement, and if he was to think with cats, he would be thinking to use cats as slaves.
- According to the show's intro, he got his scar from running with scissors.
- Coincidentally, this is also how Hoss Delgado lost his own eye (as well as his arm and leg).
- General Skarr is an homage to Herr Starr from the Preacher series.
- Skarr's first name was revealed in the intro of Evil Con Carne, and first mentioned in Billy and Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure.
